2016 First Utility Super League Dream Team revealed

Nine debutants in this year's team

Following another incredible climax to a First Utility Super League regular season, the selection of 13 players in this year’s Dream Team was never going to be easy with clubs fighting each week for league positions.

In the star-studded line-up, four Super League clubs are represented this year, with Hull FC (6) and Warrington Wolves (4) dominating the selection, along with Castleford Tigers (2) and Wigan Warriors (1).

The 2016 Dream Team features nine players making their debut in the form team of the season and includes all three players shortlisted for the prestigious Steve Prescott Man of Steel award: Gareth Ellis, Danny Houghton and Denny Solomona.

League Leaders Shield winner Warrington Wolves' captain Chris Hill makes his third appearance alongside centre Ryan Atkins, second row Ben Currie and stand-off Kurt Gidley. Both Currie and Gidley feature in the Dream Team for the first time.

The wing positions are taken by two debutants, Castleford Tigers Denny Solomona who has scored a record 40 tries this season, alongside Wigan Warriors’ Dom Manfredi.

Joining Solomona is team mate Luke Gale who makes his second consecutive appearance at scrum-half.

The Super League Dream Team is selected by a panel of the sport’s broadcasters and journalists in a secret ballot and represents the form team of the First Utility Super League season.
